          I think it still needs to be adjusted @Jin1c-3

Can confirm. Attempting to install generates an error. Install "succeeds", but no shortcut is created.

Here's the output I get when trying to scoop install extras/stirling-pdf.

I'm running the latest version of Windows 11, and Scoop and all of its installed apps are up-to-date.

The installation process itself is broken. Therefore, the shortcut creation fails. It looks like a portable Stirling-PDF.exe was offered by the vendor in the past and this is absent now. See also: #14651 (comment)

A workaround might be just to download the .JAR file (https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/releases/download/v0.36.6/Stirling-PDF.jar) in the manifest, and then create a shortcut that runs:

java -jar [path]\Stirling-PDF.jar

and then launches a browser to http://localhost:8080

I looked into this. The portable app is now "Stirling-PDF-Server.exe". https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/releases/download/v0.36.6/Stirling-PDF-Server.exe. Should be an easy manifest fix.
